    Do you listen to AM Radio???

    Long Live AM Radio The only radio station I find useful in my SF Bay Area is KCBS 740AM. They broadcast news, traffic reports and no rap music. The station is stong in any environment over 100 miles away in all directions. FM stations fade and wane when travelling from pocket to pocket and...

    Mot DSR922 install question

    stone1150 and johnnynobody, You guys hit it right on the head! The magnetic sensor wires in the actuator were not connected to the terminal block per diagram, so the wires to the DSR922 did not send the pulses as intended. All is well now with the bump increments much smaller and the arc...

    Mot DSR922 install question

    I have authorized a Mot DSR922 through WebSams and have received Hits on the Trip Counter from G1-3. In the programming process every sat shows 5000 on the position counter and cannot be changed.

    TIPS for BUD removal?

    I've removed 6 BUDs so far and before each disassembly took detailed photos just in case there is a reassembly problem. A step ladder works better when there is nothing to lean an extension ladder on. A wheel barrow will lighten the loads to the truck. In warm weather or climate a can of wasp...

    hughesnet dish for FTA

    The Hughesnet/Direcway 23 x 39" elliptical works well for FTA in NorCal. The stock LNB is linear and the transmit portion can be removed to lighten the arm. I prefer this dish, its electronics and heavy duty mount over the flimsy imports and am always on the lookout for freebies.

Both designs are based on the Unitrode UC3842B Switching Voltage Regulator, so the circuitry closely follows the Application Note for the...
